Visionaries change the world! They are the dreamers, change-makers, innovators, influencers, thought leaders, and disruptors who are fearless and relentless in their pursuit to create a better world while inspiring everyone around them.

How do visionaries make a dream reality? By being intuitively creative and insightful. They are constantly studying and observing, and are particularly good at picking up trends and opportunities to disrupt the status quo. From the first female fighter pilot to animators to a top-notch designer and everything in between, these visionary leaders and pioneers captivate us and inspire the workforce every day by sharing their art, science, creativity, passion, purpose, and innovation. These speakers will inspire you to think outside of the box and push boundaries.

FEATURED SPEAKERS

CAREY LOHRENZ

We all saw Top Gun, right?
Of course we did! And what did that movie not have? Female fighter pilots! Right around the time the movie was coming out Carey Lohrenz was in a training program where no female had ever graduated to be a fighter pilot. She knew she was going to be the first and she was determined to do just that! She loved her first day at Miramar and we love her – “she had the need, the need for speed!” More about Carey Lohrenz

BERT & JOHN JACOBS

Oh, Brother!
The guys were not only visionaries back when they founded their t-shirt business, and when they launched the Kids foundation, but they are visionaries every day creating art, messaging and this lifestyle brand, wrapped around a non-profit.

Design your mind!
Jonathan has turned his passion into his very lucrative and successful career: despite what some people told him. He is a top notch designer across many genres but his vision goes beyond design, to a mindset. “Don’t let other people’s opinions get in the way of your dreams” says Adler. We all need to do a better job of that. More about Jonathan Adler

Generation Simon!
He has inspired and captivated generations with his “start with why” discussion. We all have different views but what if we share purpose? He has shown us all that we are not that different. That’s a true leader! More about Simon Sinek

MATTHEW LUHN

Here comes the ugly cry!
Matthew is a creative guy, no doubt, but his dream was bigger than his talent and creativity. He teaches us in a way that only a Pixar storyteller can- that it’s not the words, but how they make you feel. More about Matthew Luhn
